- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Lemon Sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, ricotta cheese, fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more lemon zest or dill for extra flavor if desired.
Assembly
- Lay a tortilla or flatbread on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous layer of the salmon and ricotta mixture across the center of the tortilla.
- Roll tightly, starting from one edge, and tuck in the sides as you go to create a burrito-like wrap.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas until the filling is used up.
Make the Lemon Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, honey (if using), salt, and pepper until emulsified.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or acidity according to your preference.
Serve and Enjoy
- Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces or serve them whole.
- Drizzle with the lemon sauce and garnish with fresh parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Notes
For added texture, consider incorporating finely chopped cucumbers or bell peppers into the filling. You can also try different proteins such as canned tuna or shredded chicken. Allow the rolls to rest before slicing for easier cutting.
